❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Blackberry Blondies

1. Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?

You can use frozen blackberries, but you may need to adjust the baking time. Frozen blackberries will release more moisture, so you might need to bake the blondies for an additional 5-10 minutes. Also, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.

2. Can I make these blondies gluten-free?

Yes, you can make these blondies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to use a blend that includes xanthan gum or guar gum to help with binding.

3. How should I store these blondies?

Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

4. Can I add other fruits to these blondies?

Absolutely, you can experiment with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even peaches. Just be mindful of the moisture content, as some fruits may release more liquid than others.

5. Can I make these blondies without eggs?

Yes, you can make these blondies without eggs by using a flaxseed mixture as an egg substitute. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg and let it sit for 5 minutes before using. This will help bind the ingredients together.
